**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Matthew I. | Director, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 16, 2021

It's not just for Marketing & Advertising! It is a great tool for training and education!

**What problems is Doodly solving and how is that benefiting you?**

  ### 2. Make complex concepts easy to understand

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Professional Training & Coaching | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 04, 2021

**What do you like best about Doodly?**

My client was thrilled with the explainer video I created for him. What he does is complicated, and he said for the first time in almost 20 years in business, his friends and family FINALLY understand what he does. The training videos for Doodly are really good and short. I learned what I needed to use the software pretty quickly as a non-techie. Lots of fun to use. Highly recommend.

**What do you dislike about Doodly?**

I wish it were in the cloud, and it needs spell check.

**What problems is Doodly solving and how is that benefiting you?**

1. Explaining a complicated service
2. Creating a persona to talk about sticky topics
Benefit - using characters, thought bubbles, and props can convey a lot of information in a very short video. Efficient and impactful.

  ### 3. Excellent educational tool

**Reviewed by:** Viyth K. | Lecturer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 03, 2021

Love the templates & bundles available for free once you purchase the license.
License cost is reasonable given what you can do with the tool.
Very user-friendly platform.

**What do you dislike about Doodly?**

Cannot think of anything.
No downsides to Doodly from my experience at this stage.

**Recommendations to others considering Doodly:**

Like any platform, invest some time at the beginning to get familiar with the tools.
Time invested is certainly worth it.

Was extra helpful during COVID as it enabled me to create something students could interact with.

  ### 4. Achieves a months work in a day.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Ian M. | Director, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 04, 2021

**What do you like best about Doodly?**

As a communication tool, Doodly has given us an additional way of communicating that is disruptive, powerful, and achieves what we might have needed a week and a few pieces of professional software before ... in a day or less.

**What do you dislike about Doodly?**

I haven't found anything that I don't like.  Congratulations and your product and your taltent.  Please keep innovating, so that it always feels fresh and new.

**Recommendations to others considering Doodly:**

Take the leap.

**What problems is Doodly solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Impact, creativity in messaging.  Bringing fun to serious messaging.

  ### 5. Its awsome.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Sanjay J. | National Sales Head, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 26, 2021

**What do you like best about Doodly?**

Ease of creating videos in all formats..

**What do you dislike about Doodly?**

Not able to add videos. Large audio files.

**What problems is Doodly solving and how is that benefiting you?**

To promote products on Youtube.

  ### 6. Background Scenes are not Searchable, less clip art than expected, nickel-and-dime add on purchases

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Medical Practice | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 18, 2020

**What do you like best about Doodly?**

The speed of putting together a whiteboard commercial is pretty good - it's nice to be able to adjust audio length and speed of animation.

**What do you dislike about Doodly?**

I got the enterprise version for more clip art, and was sad to see so many different styles - I could not create a consistent medical commercial because all the characters were drawn differently. The backgrounds are not searchable, so you have to scroll through them and find the one you want - very inconvenient. Right at the time when I needed the service the most, the Doodly servers went down, and I could not work on my project. The way the software is architected, an internet connection is required to receive project data and clip art - no local cache... People expect offline work to be usable in 2020.

**Recommendations to others considering Doodly:**

Check out other competitors first, and notice that the Doodly site does not show what you get until you've already purchased it.

**What problems is Doodly solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Quickly create whiteboard animations.

  ### 7. Great for creating explainer videos

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Roy I. | Owner and Founder, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 31, 2020

**What do you like best about Doodly?**

This software is simple to use and quick. It took me about 1/2 hour to generate and learn. My response from my first video was great and now I am just working on the learning curve to perfect the movies.

**What do you dislike about Doodly?**

Some of the illustrations take a long time to render. After a while I figured out that I needed to reduce the amount of internal illustrations so it wouldn't take as much time. I also got the cheapest version which doesn't include many images so I will have to buy more.

**Recommendations to others considering Doodly:**

I would buy the pro version it is very inexpensive and includes more images

**What problems is Doodly solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I am in a pretty complex industry and i use it to explain how certain concepts work. I can take a prospect through it step by step and keep their attention without them getting bored and they stay to the end. Our biggest problem with explaining financial concepts is to keep the client on board so they know what they are buying and this software helps to do that.

**Official Response from Doodly Support:**

> Thanks for the kind words, Roy! Please be sure to visit the Doodly FB group where we have 75,000+ active Doodlers all helping one another. We also post all of the free software updates there. A great resource for getting the most out of Doodly. Thanks again!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Robert T. | Lic'd OR Principal Broker, Lic'd WA Broker, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 12, 2021

It is unique and it is the kind of thing that you see bigger companies using, so it comes across as very professional.

Nothing particularly.  Learning curve, but everything has one.

  ### 16. Good Idea, Harder to Implement

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 03, 2021

**What do you like best about Doodly?**

Drag & Drop feature is helpful to quick & easy placement

**What do you dislike about Doodly?**

Lack of color, integrating sound is a bit of a challenge, no suggested scripts or templates to use or follow, no music to use to help presentation, and no training when we purchased this-its sat on the shelf for two years without being used.

**What problems is Doodly solving and how is that benefiting you?**

None... that's part of the problem.  The software requires one to have a fair bit of time to create a script, create scenes, record the dialog, find playback music, integrate & edit, and then finally present.

  ### 24. Disappointed and Misleading

**Rating:** 2.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Heather A. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 30, 2020

**What do you like best about Doodly?**

It can be very easy to use, as long as you are fairly computer competent to begin with.

**What do you dislike about Doodly?**

When signed up over a year ago, the premise was that the $67 buy in was going to be for a limited time, and that investment would be enough to have it for a 'lifetime' - however, with each additional release of illustrations/bundles available, they are up to over $2000 in additions. The disadvantage to this, of course, is that people are still able to buy in at the $67, so there is no benefit to being a founding member and getting those packages for the 'lifetime' deal. At this point, it's good software, but to make it great, you need to invest more and more as the software advances and grows. I'll stick to the minimum, and likely look for other software that isn't so much of a roll-out/waiting process for things in the future for more complex videos.

**Recommendations to others considering Doodly:**

I would definitely use this software more often if I didn't have to upload so many of my own assets and create my own paths for them. I also think the $67 buy in is a great investment, but the concept of buying content once you've bought in for a 'lifetime' seems to negate their need for recurring revenue and they would rather have lots of one-off purchases than customers that would benefit from their roll-outs as beta testing and have new people come on as a subscription based service.

**What problems is Doodly solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I got it to make social media short clips and quickly started using for training videos - however with the package that I bought into, vs what is available now, it seems that the only benefit of Doodly is the ease of use for myself and the cost at the beginning.

  ### 25. Cool Doodly Do

  ### 26. So Far, So Good

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Photography | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 03, 2021

**What do you like best about Doodly?**

I'm hardly qualified to give a review, having not yet created even my first Doodly. However, I've sampled the YT tutorials and found them far superior to so much of what's out there.  Easy to understand, produced by people who obviously appreciate what it's like to be on the receiving end of new-to-my-brain material.

**What do you dislike about Doodly?**

I intensely dislike being coerced into writing what I dislike when I don't have anything about the product to dislike. Now, get the h*** outta my way so I can complete this d****d survey.

**What problems is Doodly solving and how is that benefiting you?**

So far, all I've done is create an outline of the idea I want to convey in a very short video.

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Tanya A. | Client Services Manager, Consumer Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 29, 2020

**What do you like best about Doodly?**

I do enjoy using the program, for the most part.

**What do you dislike about Doodly?**

The customer service is beyond words. I purchased a product and they said they refunded the money. I have gone back and forth with them for over a month now, shown bank records, had the bank contact them IN WRITING and tell them that I was never refunded the money. They flat out refused to give the money back. ONE person refused to let me even speak, on the phone, with anybody, absolutely no one would give up a phone number and finally had to file a dispute with the bank....the whole way I was treated is why I would not ever recommend this product to anyone...people are the product....and without people purchasing your product...it doesn't matter what product you have...we the people, make the difference and this company could care less about the people who pay their salaries and keep them in a job...especially during this pandemic....and all for $97???????

**Recommendations to others considering Doodly:**

Be aware that if you have any issues that the customer service will not care about your issue NOR care about you. As long as everything is perfect and you never have an issue, everything should be great, but the moment you do....watch out

**What problems is Doodly solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Wasn't able to solve anything, I had to file a dispute against the charge.

  ### 38. AWFUL SOFTWARE!

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** B2B I.T. S. | Director of Information Technology, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 07, 2020

**What do you like best about Doodly?**

Their marketing is the only thing that is good about this software.  You can BUY BUY BUY easily enough.  Other than the fact that it is easy enough to buy additional characters, there is not much that I like about this garbageware.

**What do you dislike about Doodly?**

Everything.  The entire UI needs redesigning because nothing is user-friendly.  Have the developers look at Premier and copy what the professionals do.  The software is some of the most buggiest software I've ever had the displeasure of working with and constantly crashes.  The support started out good but then it didn't appear that they were reading what I was writing.  If you try to do anything in this software that is outside of a 30 second video, it takes 10 times longer because of the awful layout.  This software is absolutely disgusting and I cannot believe that people in their right mind would write on here how good the software is because it is not.  It constantly crashes during rendering with 1 second left or 9 seconds left when you try and render at 1080p.

The software is doesn't even deserved to be called software.  It deserves to be called garbageware.  Can you make money with it? Yes?  Can you do anything intelligent with it?  Not without a real hassle and having to troubleshoot the problem yourself.  Making two Doodly video tutorials on how to create effects within the software, spent 30+ hours making each video only to have it crash on you and you have to troubleshoot it to figure out what this buggy Doodly garbageware doesn't like.

Make the same video in Premier and it takes 4-5 hours and works perfectly during rendering.  Stick to using a professional software and don't waste your money.  The only reason I am keeping this software is because my clients like the damned hand that draws.  I could probably make the same effect in Premier in half the time.

**What problems is Doodly solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I don't believe the technical support understands the software enough to solve the problem.  I discovered a major bug in their software and reported it to them and gave them proof and they told me the problem was something else completely.  There have been no benefits to this god awful software.
